Using my photography skills in the Army

Hear how being both a photographer and teaching Soldiers to be journalists inspire SGT First Class Scott Turner.

Hi I’m Sergeant First Class Scott Turner. I’m a public affairs specialist that’s a 46 Zulu in the Army. I’m in the Army Reserve, I’m active duty that means I’m full time in the reserve, and I thoroughly love my job. And the reason why is because it gives me the opportunity to showcase what I can do for the Army which is photography, still imaging. Also to teach younger Soldiers the skills I’ve developed over the past 40 years to show them how to be a journalist and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed that. I’ve been able to travel the world – to do all kinds of things the average person would never even think about. Been to Europe a couple of times, been to Central America, I’ve rubbed shoulders with folks in the Amazon, I’ve rubbed shoulders with presidents and I’ve traveled everywhere that you can imagine – all because of the camera in my hand. Thank you for listening.
